Refunds and reductions are issued based on when you officially withdraw from a course or courses.

If you wish to withdraw online via MyUB from a course or from the University entirely, you should always confirm the completion of the withdrawal by reviewing your schedule after submitting the withdrawal or by contacting the Office of the University Registrar.

No credit or tuition refund will be made unless an official request is submitted. The computation of any credit or refund is made from the date of the official withdrawal request, whether in person or online, and not from the date the student stopped attending class(es). Please note, fees are not refundable once the semester or session has begun, as noted in the table(s) below.

Exceptions to the Refund Policy

If you are confronted with an unexpected and serious circumstance that requires you to withdraw from your course(s), you may request review by the Tuition Reduction Appeals Committee for an exception to the Refund and Reduction Policy and ask for a reversal of a portion of your tuition charges. Your petition should explain, in detail:

the circumstances

how the circumstances caused the need for you to withdraw from the course(s)

and what actions you have taken to resolve or prevent such an event from occurring in subsequent terms.

In addition, you must provide any relevant third-party documentation. Students are encouraged to review the Tuition Appeals Guidelines for more information on acceptable documentation.

Requests for exception should be submitted immediately; however, no requests will be considered 30 days beyond the term in question.

The Tuition Reduction Appeals Committee comprises representatives from the Office of the Bursar, the Office of the University Registrar and the Office of Financial Aid in conjunction with a representative from academic leadership. The committee will review your appeal based on:

the seriousness and duration of your circumstances

whether it was beyond your ability to control

whether you were able to drop courses by the standard deadline

how promptly you submitted your appeal.

Exceptions will be determined and addressed on a case-by-case basis. The committee's findings will be considered final and will be communicated to the student by a representative of the Office of the Bursar.

To apply for an exception you will need to submit all documentation to: Office of the Bursar University of Baltimore 1420 N. Charles St.Baltimore, MD 21201-5779 Fax: 410.837.6532 ubbursar@ubalt.edu
